Trulli Tales (), officially named Trulli Tales: The Adventures of Trullalleri, is an animated series for children co-produced by Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Brazil. Created by Maria Elena and Fiorella Congedo, it debuted on 17 October 2017 on the Brazilian channel Gloobinho. The production involves Fandango TV, Congedo CulturArte, Gaumont Animation, PVP Media, and Rai Fiction, with financial backing from the Canada Media Fund and Radio-Canada. The Walt Disney Company EMEA also participated in its production.

The narrative unfolds in the imaginary land of Trullalleri, inspired by Alberobello, and centers on four youngsters—Ring, Zip, Stella, and Sun—alongside their instructor. Together, they explore culinary arts using Grandma Trulli’s ancient cookbook while defending it against Copperpot by harnessing magical abilities through their wands.
